CodeDown: Easily Download Codes from AI Chats
CodeDown is a small assistant for your web browser that simplifies the way you save codes generated by various artificial intelligence platforms. Instead of going through the hassle of copying the code, opening a text editor, pasting the content, and manually saving the file, CodeDown adds a convenient "Download" button directly on code blocks, allowing you to download a properly formatted, ready-to-use file with a single click.
What Does It Do?
The main function of the script is to add a download button to code blocks on supported AI chat sites. It is designed to make saving code snippets faster, more efficient, and organized.
The script is smart enough to:
- Detect the programming language (such as Python, JavaScript, HTML, etc.).
- Assign the correct file extension (e.g.,
.py for Python, .js for JavaScript).
- Automatically name the file, including the platform name, language, and date, so you can easily find your files.
How Does It Work?
Very simply, the script runs silently in the background while you browse compatible AI sites.
- Automatic Detection: It identifies when a code snippet is displayed on the screen.
- Button Addition: As soon as a code block is detected, a new "Download" button appears, usually near the "Copy" button.
- One-Click Download: Clicking this new button, the script captures all the code content, formats it correctly, and starts downloading the file in your browser, saving it directly to your downloads folder.
How to Use?
Using CodeDown is very easy!
No configuration needed. Just navigate to one of the supported AI sites, generate code, and you will see the download button appear automatically.

Important Notice for Microsoft Edge Users
⚠️ Copilot Compatibility Issue on Edge
Due to specific Microsoft Edge browser policies that restrict modifying Microsoft’s own tools, the CodeDown download button may not work correctly or may not appear on the Copilot platform when using Edge.
